A new 25 kilometre walking and cycling path is an important component of Peninsula Link. The path will be a significant addition to the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula walking and cycling networks and the single biggest addition to Melbourne's shared use path network since the EastLink Trail. 

View the walking and cycling path map.

The Peninsula Link Trail will begin at Patterson Lakes connecting the EastLink and Baxter trails and end at Moorooduc. The route takes in wetlands, parklands and natural bushlands.

Parks Victoria, VicRoads, Melbourne Water, Bicycle Victoria and local councils have input into the development and route of the shared use path.

Highlights of the route include:

• Connection to the Dandenong Creek trail at Patterson River
• New pedestrian bridge at Thompson Road, Patterson Lakes click here for Patterson Lakes section information sheet
• Combined pedestrian-pipe bridge near Willow Road, Frankston offering links to the Baxter Trail

This project is an example of how the Victorian Government's is committed to improving pedestrian and cycling access as part of major road and rail projects through the Victorian Cycling Strategy.
